Germany cruise into last eight with 3-0 Slovakia win

  • Germany through thanks to Boateng, Gomez and Draxler
  • Ozil penalty miss only blemish on slick performance
  • World champions face holders Spain or Italy next

Slovakia were marginally better in the second half but when the excellent Draxler hooked a volley into the top corner in the 63rd minute there was no way back.

Draxler and Boateng were replaced by Lukas Podolski and Benedikt Hoewedes nine minutes later as the game took on the air of a friendly with Germany's place in the last eight against Spain or Italy already booked.
